it's been a long month. hope everyone had a good new year and v day.
the few of us played soccer on saturday against some tci punks. old news is that we only had six of us, prompty reduced to five when i tore my sole again. new news is that in edmund we've probably found a second tay, albeit a less physically imposing one. and yes, we do miss you mr tay.
still haven't given up my aspirations of a dream team. i still have hopes that tay and yewtze will recover fully. the team spirit isn't as strong as it was supposed to be, and to be honest, we were getting it on pretty well at some stage last year. i think deep down inside, all of you guys want to be together as a team. we can still kick some ass.
anyway, here's an insight:
what man united needs now isn't carlos tevez. by all means, his statistics present a strong case for his selection, and he has scored some important goals. but tevez, for all his momentary link-up plays, doesn't really pass that well. he is short, yet not a terribly fast sprinter. stocky to an extent, but rooney's more bullish by far.
i think what carlos tevez presents is a solution to ole gunnar solskjaer. saha is too injury-prone to present a staple threat as a super-sub, so that's where tevez comes in.
the answer: karim benzema.
he is fast, strong, good in the air. maybe possessing most of the attributes of a certain ruud van nistelrooy. howere, benzema is more mobile. there are more facets to his all-round game. and there is the added advantage of youth. fergie can train benzema to match his game plan, and the forward can present a bigger goal threat than tevez will ever be. the transfer fee will be insane, but the kid is only 20. he will only get better.
imagine a forward line like this: cristiano ronaldo, irrepressible on the right; nani weaving his way on the left; wayne rooney in his best role as the withdrawn striker, and karim benzema at the tip of the spear. it's a hassle trying to contain one, headache to thwart two, an absolute nightmare to face three.
benzema's the man, the one that will strike all down.

match report
score: minyao's andersonians 7 el lobos 14
scorers: zhipeng 8, yewtze 5, sum 1
attendance: 15.000
report: a high-scoring match where both teams played an all-out attacking suicide game that was pleasing to any neutral fan, but not to the managers. a clean-sheet was desired and not achieved, but a seven goal win is still good by any means.
the team started with wee leong in goal, leonard and sum as the defence, yewtze in the middle with zhipeng and jx on the flanks. two goals were scored in the space of the first five minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the morning.
(the rest of the goals are all somewhere else. i only can remember the score being 3-2, then 4-2. rest of them are lost in the sea of memories)
goals were exchanged. it must be noted that though zp scored eight (or nine), he missed around twenty chances. also, the domination did not pay off, as soft goals were conceded. wee leong was only responsible for one, a scott carson error which wasn't a huge issue, but not really a miniscule one either.
one thing to take note was that communication was found wanting. motormouth tze provided much of the solution, but after he was taken off, the formation pretty much collapsed. also, the defence on the wings was suspect, a problem which we always had.
manofthematch: zhipeng
i would give it to yewtze. but you can't leave a guy out when he scores eight.
moanofthematch: drinks uncle
showed a certain lack of enthusiasm in selling his wares, yet the beverages were equally pricey.
quoteofthematch: 'isn't liangfa in church?' yewtze blurts out his reservations about sensitive issues on hearing fa's commitment.
conclusion: nothing to crow about. lets move on to the next opponent with more seriousness.

i just feel like writing this. because in some ways it is too painful to keep inside. and i guess the some of us who care, really miss the times when the lobos line-up was this:
line-up: wee leong, sum, wee theng, yewtze, yuxian, zhipeng
subs: leo, congjing, bob, huikai, liangfa
don't you feel that the line-up is damn gay. even the subs are gay. wee leong's passing improving with every game, sum and wee theng as the rocks, yewtze gallivating about, yuxian rampaging whole defences and zp just finishing every darn chance. congjing and leo ready to fill in every position, bob with his power shot, huikai and liangfa ready-made for theirs. nightmare for the opposition.
skill and steel oozing from every position. do you guys feel my pain as the manager. do you guys feel it too.
we could have been a dream.

friendly on 6th jan, 2008
venue: NUS law fac futsal court (NIE)
match time: 0900
water parade: 830
opponents: mingyao's andersonians
our first ever match of the year 2008. nostalgia is in the air, as well as a tinge of sadness and regret at the passing of 2007. tears will be fallen, shin pads will be shattered, and great heroes will remembered. but lobos will live on. happy new year to all.
currentsituation: only me, tay and sum have seen our opponents in real action. possibly zp and bob have to, but anyway lets just try our best to make it good.
opposition: from what can be recalled, they have two main dangermen: one is a goal opportunist, the other the creative playmaker. the rest of the players are also of decent skill, but it is these two which we must keep an eye on. sum and leo will have to be on their toes: sum on the goalscorer, leo on the playmaker. we'll stifle them, make them come to us, and zp as usual, will kiosai 10% of his chances that fall along. if yewtze can play, leo can relax into his defensive role. line-up is subjected to the people who turn up.
conclusion: please let the gaffer rest for this match. he is very, very tired.

dudes we have a theme song, la bamba, sung by lobos (which is us). please learn the lyrics.
Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia pa'mí y pa' ti
Ay Arriba y arriba
Ay arriba y arriba por ti seré
Por ti seré
Por ti seré
Yo no soy marinero,
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
Soy capitan
